(58,785 posts)reportedly managed to build an impressive computerized fundraising operation, amassing a very large database and big social media operations.
Automatic donations turn a great disadvantage of voters with less organized lives into an asset; once set up by clicking on the icon, the donations continue, 4+ every month, indefinitely until the donor remembers and takes the proactive step of putting a stop to it.
Presumably this would seem to explain the dissonance of a second-tier candidate who's never been close to breaking out and appeals to a lot of young, often not yet registered, and lower income people yet has more money than all the other candidates.

(391 posts)Bernie 2.0s polling numbers are more baked in vs Bernie 1.0.
Obama was a relatively unknown charismatic upstart who surprised many and then rode a wave of momentum. Bernie 1.0 had some of that, but Bernie 2.0 doesnt get that benefit.
Also, if Biden and Sanders polling data was switched, Im willing to bet youd feel better about your preferred candidate.

(52,169 posts)AA voters wanted to vote for Obama he just had to show he could win. Sanders was largely unknown in 2016, he isn't now.

Thats a September-November talking point. Those have now expired. Were about 30 days out from the first contests. The game is now literally afoot.

(58,785 posts)Poor RW RCP, unable to fudge Biden's popularity away. They certainly load on the bias in articles, to the point you don't even have to open some the headlines stink so bad.
